Why do people go to Psychotherapy?

There is more information on the psychotherapy page as to what symptoms bring people into therapy.
In some circles there can be a perceived stigma in admitting you’re seeing a therapist. The idea is that only people who are mentally ill or suffering a diagnosed condition would need to go. This is gradually changing as organisations start to see psychotherapy as preventative or as part of a wellbeing package to support staff in a job which has a high level of challenge.
From the individual perspective people are choosing to come to therapy not just to heal old hurts but to reflect on and explore who they are, what values they hold, what direction they want to take and how that might give their life meaning and purpose?
